Downsampling with PSF

[bluetooth12]

Hello, I have two sets of images: One at a high resolution and one at a low resolution. I want both sets of images to be at the same resolution and, to do so, I need to downsample the high resolution image with a PSF. The result should be a blurred image that is "zoomed-out" so that the high resolution image looks like the low resolution image. Can your code do this? If not, can you suggest a resource I could use (paper/code) to achieve this result?

Hi,

I think you want to do this in two steps. First, convolve the high-resolution image by a kernel that will take the high-resolution PSF to the low-resolution PSF. Next, resample the high-resolution image to the pixel grid of the low-resolution image.

The first step you can do using, eg, scipy.ndimage

The second step you could do using my code, eg, astrometry.util.resample's resample_with_wcs.
